Our office has many different treatments for acne scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Acne scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic acne scars and indented acne scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be been improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve  the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional laser such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture.  Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your acne scarring.
 
Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition.

There are various modalities to improve/fix a chicken pox scar. Creams will not help you. Laser resurfacing or dermaroller/dermastamp can help, fillers can help, and excising the scar are all reasonable options. Speak with your dermatologist.

Michael T. Somenek, MD · Answer

I
do see the area you are referring to. 
There are a couple treatments that you could do to address this problem
area. The size and depth of chickenpox scars are important factors in deciding
which techniques for improving the appearance.

Small chickenpox
scars can be treated by a punch excision. 
The scar is actually removed and then sutured closed with very
fine suture material.  There might still
be a smaller scar visible after this treatment, but it will not be depressed and will be less visible to the eye. Additional therapies include lasers, microneedling, and possibly topical scar gel such as Silagen. This will all be decided during your consultation.
